    Red Oak ISD plans to offer both full-day and half-day Pre-K in both English and Spanish. The full-day program, new for the 2020-21 school year, will hold a lottery for interested students. While we will attempt to place all half-day students in their neighborhood school, the Pre-K program will overflow to other campuses based on numbers. 

    Who qualifies?

    Eligibility requirements for Pre-K are set forth by the State of Texas.

    This is the Criteria from the Student Attendance Accounting Handbook for PK:

    Children must be four years of age on September 1 of the current school year (September 1, 2020, for 2020-2021 school year) and must meet one of the following requirements:

    1. be unable to speak and comprehend the English language; or
    2. be educationally disadvantaged (eligible to participate in the National School Lunch Program [NSLP]; or
    3. be homeless; or
    6. have ever been in the conservatorship of the Texas DFPS (foster care) following an adversary hearing.
    7. is the child of a person eligible for the Star of Texas Award such as:
      1. a peace officer under Section 3106.002, Government Code; or
      2. a firefighter under Section 3106.003, Government Code; or
      3. an emergency medical first responder under Section 3106.004, Government Code.

    If a four year old child does not meet any of the above criteria, the only exception to the eligibility requirements is if the four year old was eligible and was served at age three during the previous year in a previous district's three year old Pre-Kindergarten program. The three year old Pre-K qualifying documentation must be provided from the previous in-state public or charter school district upon enrollment.
